# 10 Larger and heavier than today’s bulldog, these early bulldogs were bred specifically for this bloody sport. Typically, they crawled on their bellies toward the angry bull so he couldn’t get their horns under their body and throw it up in the air.

# 11 And it was impossible for the bull to shake their big mouths and powerful jaws away once the bulldog had bitten down on his snout.

Thanks to its short, flat nose, the bulldog was able to breathe while holding on to the bull's snout. It took him stamina to hold on to the bull for a long time, no matter how hard he tried to shake him off.

# 12 The Bulldog’s high sensitivity to pain was developed to enable them to outdo themselves in this barbaric sport.

Even the creases on his head have a purpose: they were to keep the bull's blood out of his eyes once the dog had bitten the bull, so the bulldog wouldn't be "blinded" by the blood.
